And I know, I was just looking at that too. Maybe she is working on something brilliant. I am so glad you stopped by my humble abode. I am completely there with you 100% for next year. I think this is something fantastic you put together.<br /><br />Oh, and tell me what you come up with for the &quot;obscurity factor.&quot; I&#39;ll try and think of something to help you, if I can.<br /><br /><br />Lauren - That&#39;s great. I hope they tie in together somehow. I think my library has a copy of it too...Heather Zundelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16621649337908358313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4133084271861373337.post-69210570574902059202010-02-14T04:38:01.956-08:002010-02-14T04:38:01.956-08:00Re: Pelly D, I haven&#39;t read Cherry Heaven yet ...Re: Pelly D, I haven&#39;t read Cherry Heaven yet but it&#39;s set on the same planet some years later.

I&#39;ve read the other novel by that same author, but it seems like she hasn&#39;t written anything for a while. :(<br /><br />We&#39;re going to be organizing an &quot;Unsung Week&quot; once a year in case you&#39;re interested in syncing up with when others are posting their lists. We&#39;ll do some fun stuff like giveaways for the most picked books, the most obscure books, etc.<br /><br />Also, I&#39;m thinking about coming up with a better way to calculate relative obscurity that takes into account LibraryThing stats, Goodreads stas, Amazon sales rank, etc.<br /><br />It should be fun!Kellyhttp://yannabe.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4133084271861373337.post-18942991592313315212010-02-11T20:39:22.062-08:002010-02-11T20:39:22.062-08:00Tere - Then my work here is done *whooshes into th...Tere - Then my work here is done *whooshes into the sunset*<br /><br />NotNessie - Oh good. Though The Changeling Prince might be hard to find since it is out of print (and my library got rid of the only copy! The nerve).<br /><br />Celtic Traveler - I agree! But I have yet to own it (shame on me). Must remedy that...<br /><br />Lauren - Yay! I&#39;m glad someone else has read The Diary of Pelly D. And no problem about featuring it. All in a day&#39;s work. Is Cherry Heaven a companion book to it?<br /><br />Heather - Dystopian rocks, and that will definitely be up your alley. And you should give it a try. It was fun.<br /><br />Steph Su - Hey you! Thanks for stopping by here. I loved your list by the way. And yes, some of the covers do look old. The Changeling Prince and Someone Was Watching, especially. The Perilous Gard looks old, but it&#39;s fairly new. You should have seen the ORIGINAL cover.<br /><br />Shooting Stars Mag - Thanks! I try really hard to showcase books that get little-to-no love. I was very conscious of the other lists when I was making mine. And I will check out your contest, definitely.<br /><br />MissAttitude - You have!? That&#39;s AWESOME. I went back and found the old cover. The new one was bugging me too much. Definitely reread it. I think there may even be POC in there... I&#39;ll have to go check.<br /><br />I&#39;m glad I&#39;m making it a yearly post too. You should do one for your blog, all about the best POC books you&#39;ve read (most I&#39;m sure are unknown already).Heather Zundelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16621649337908358313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4133084271861373337.post-67999813332482534102010-02-11T16:38:42.116-08:002010-02-11T16:38:42.116-08:00OMG!

I have a book with a different cover but I vaguely remember the story. I need to re read and review that now. Samurai Shortstop and Little Sister were already on my lists, you&#39;ve totally convinced me!<br /><br />The folk Keeper sounds interesting and I&#39;m intrigued by the ABCs for adults.<br /><br />I love this meme! Great idea, Kelly.

I would love to do this feature too but I&#39;m embarrassed to say I don&#39;t think I know enough &quot;obscure&quot; books (though the list on the main page wasn&#39;t terribly obscure, I&#39;d heard of most of them, so maybe I could...)Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18096173111325220168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4133084271861373337.post-33011616071303410842010-02-11T12:49:08.045-08:002010-02-11T12:49:08.045-08:00Oh, how I love The Diary of Pelly D.
